1/2
cup powdered sugar
1
teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4
cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

cup finely chopped nuts
1/4
teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar

Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 400ºF.
  • 2 Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the vanilla in large bowl. Stir in flour, nuts and salt until dough holds together.
  • 3 Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
